Multidisciplinary mRNA: What Can We Learn From Other CGTs?
Overall, there are four high-level best practices/mindsets I proposed during a recent presentation that I believe will be crucial for us to bring some talented RNA therapeutic role models to the forefront. But there is one best practice that I think is worth emphasizing more than the others.

Defining The RNA Therapeutics Industry In 2023
Four executives outline which industry challenges, strategic considerations, and opportunities should be top of mind as RNA therapeutics companies establish their to-do lists for 2023.

Assessing Quality Of mRNA Vaccines: Key Considerations
To address the need for standards for mRNA vaccines, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has convened vaccine experts to identify important quality attributes and to propose test methods that can be used to assess mRNA vaccine products. This article shares those CQAs and analytical procedure tips.

Moderna & The Global mRNA Supply Chain: Regulatory Lessons Learned
One of the most important reminders I took away from Moderna’s experiences ushering its mRNA vaccine onto the global market is that a commercial manufacturing process must also be accompanied by a commercially ready supply chain. Though sufficient physical volumes of each raw material and a redundant supplier network are necessities, physical scale is not the only “CQA” for which we must account when commercializing our supply chain.

“To Thine Own [mRNA Product] Be True:” Shakespeare's Guide To RNA GMP Principles
In the following article, I offer some of the biggest tips and tricks experts offered during a panel discussion on the challenges of navigating GMP principles in the RNA space today — with a little bit of help from Shakespeare himself.

“Holy T7 Polymerase, Batman!”: R&D Considerations For More Awe-Inspiring xRNA
It goes without saying we have some pretty ambitious therapeutic goals for linear mRNA and next-gen saRNA and circRNA. However, as my conversation with Koeris explored, we still have a lot of scientific and technical work/innovation ahead of us to make our RNA products “stronger” (in more ways than one).
ARTICLES, APP NOTES, CASE STUDIES, & WHITE PAPERS

Uncover how how switching from LAL to rFC can enhance sustainability, improve testing reliability, and strengthen supply-chain resilience in endotoxin testing.
-
Treating cryopreservation as a validated, controlled input improves consistency, quality, and patient outcomes by reducing variability across cell therapy manufacturing, storage, and distribution.
-
Explore the industry impact of rapidly evolving vaccinology, the power of next-gen science and technology, and how finding the right supply chain partner has never been more essential.

The story of how Moderna brought one of the first mRNA vaccines to the market has all the makings of a legend we will pass down through generations. However, unlike the legends of King Arthur or The Fountain of Youth, we can celebrate that Moderna’s legendary journey was — and still is — real. Not only did the mRNA vaccines help return life to normal, but they also kickstarted the mRNA therapeutic renaissance we’re happily experiencing today.

Learn about the drawbacks of antibiotic resistance that can cause side effects in patients and how an antibiotic-free approach can ease the burden of regulatory compliance and accelerate development.
-
Learn about the first end-to-end cGMP facility that was developed for mRNA manufacturing to address the shortage of CDMOs and the inadequate and inefficient supply chain options for sourcing GMP mRNA.
